KUALA LUMPUR: The Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC) launched the Tourism Licensing and Enforcement System (TOURLIST) to replace the Tourism Industry’s Licensing System (SPIP) beginning yesterday (November 9).
According to its press statement here today, MOTAC said the project has nine application modules which cover five thrust applications and four support applications.
The TOURLIST System is available on its website and mobile apps to be on par with the technology development.
MOTAC added that the TOURLIST is also equipped with the Business Intelligence (BI) characteristics through its RapidMiner.
“The most interesting features available on TOURLIST is the ability to enable online touristic license applications via end-to-end, registration and grants automation for hotels and spas, automatic approval for the exemption of tour guides, efficient monitoring and online payments, amongst others,” MOTAC said.
Besides that, MOTAC has also organised smart cooperations with its strategic partners through an integration and data-sharing system with various ministries, government agencies and private companies such as the Malaysian Companies Commission, Malaysia Accounting Department, Public Complaint Bureau and the banking Industry.
“The project initiative for the development of the TOURLIST System is on time with the country’s tourism landscape which is continuously developing and changing with the development of digital technology such as data, internet of things, blockchain technology, artificial intelligence and various other smart innovations.
“The development of tourism packages and the culture ecosystem can be carried out in a proactive and inclusive method with the existence of the data management which is effective through the TOURLIST System,” MOTAC added.
MOTAC said the tourism players can also browse its website: https://tourlist.gov.my/ for any Tourism Licensing and Enforcement transactions.
